no- i'm talking about the knotted T...
you said you saw it on the brown's site...

at the very least you could sell it on ebay and make some moolah!...

 

[leyla m.]

U.S. Dries lovers - does anyone have any experience ordering from Browns Fashion? Were you charged customs duties? I'm still contemplating ordering from there because I've called all over the US and I still can't find my shoes. Do they have a wider selection in-store than online?

Thanks.

If anyone could share stores that sell Dries shoes in the US, that would be great. I'm wondering if I'm missing any that I haven't called yet that MAY have my shoes.

what shoes, maybe we can help...

browns online is awesome, you'll get credited VAT immediately, pay $40 shipping and get charged customs from DHL via a letter to follow in about a month.

i think she means the orange patent......
i still haven't seen them anywhere...sorry...


lucky- did you get the knotted top?...

 

[luckyme]

not yet...still working on it but having issue with barneys...gee, big surprise, right. I should have listened to you.

I'm going to try 45ten in dallas. what size did you get?

 

[softgrey]

mine's medium...but i like things big...
i think you can tell that tourist got a smaller size..
it def fits her differently...

i prob should have gotten small but i don't think there was one..


barney's issues...big surprise......

 

[laika]

I got it too...

...in a small, but mine is a greyish-green color. Lucky, last time I was at barney's they had mediums in both the black and green. I'm going to go again this week, so let me know if you want me to check it out for you.

luckyme - I was referring to my orange patent velcro booties (I posted a pic on a previous page). Browns has them in grey but not in orange. Do they carry more extensive colours in store than they do online, do you think? I'm wondering if it's worth giving them a call if they do.

softgrey - yep, those are the ones. I wish they were easier to find!

I have yet to locate them in the US. I'm starting to consider ordering from overseas.

i still haven't seen them anywhere...sorry...

I saw those in the Dries Antwerp store.... They are truly beautiful... pictures don't do them justice....

 

[softgrey]

omg- everyone got that knotted top?!?!..

...

 

[luckyme]

laika, thanks for the tip. I wont use barneys for the time being...long story.

soft, well, before I lost out completely on finding the top, and I've called about 4 places already, all sold out, I bought myself an early present, well 2 actually...
the tie-not in purple in a small. some color will be nice for my very dark wardrobe (to say the least) and I quite like this shade of purple...and also couldnt resist this cute grey one as well.

so we double, double-dipped, right? the knotted top...tourist, softgrey, laika, me, what about wiw?

[fashionista-ta]

^ Yay, color!!!

I'm interested to hear more about your Barney's experience ... do we have a Barney's thread in here?

 

[Misako]

melt977 - OMG! Do they still have them? If I call them can they send them to me? Do you recall the price (Euros is fine, i can convert) by any chance?

I have been looking UP and down and all around the US for them! You gave me hope.

I think I may have to call overseas...

 

[melt977]

melt977 - OMG!
I think I may have to call overseas...

Just PMed you Misako...

 

[Misako]

Does anyone know how the FW 07 shoes are running, btw? Thanks.

 

[tourist10]

luckyme - I tried on that grey tee too, it's really nice, you'll love it. I might get it too if I can still find it during the sales
Misako - one of the sales women at the Dries Paris store told me they would be willing to ship to the States. I only tried on 2 styles, but they are running pretty true to size. Good luck!
laika - the color of your top sounds beautiful. His colors are always so subtle. I also got my black knot top in a Small.

 

[pucci_mama]

Ahh.. reading this thread has given me some serious shoe cravings...

So I need your help on which shoes to get, number one I probably have to get from the US as I have not seen them in London... but I have not really looked so..I might be able to find them, I'm just thinking they might be a bit plain for me..

or

I would mainly wear them with short skirts...

monamoore, browns

 

[pucci_mama]

oh.... just found out that monamoore does not ship internationally...

 

[Misako]

tourist10 - Ah, thanks! Do you have any experience with the Antwerp store? I'm just wondering if they ship overseas. I think I might try calling them first.

pucci_mama - both pairs are lovely - I prefer #2 myself.
I think during my search for my beloved velcro shoes I came across quite a few stores in the US that sell the first pair (I think some of the major department stores here in the US has them - I think Neiman Marcus in King of Prussia may have them, they probably do overseas shipments?)
...does Brown's carry more styles/colours in their actual b&m store than they do online? Maybe you can find them there?
